param forwading is my favorite feature in pretty link . I have affiliates that come to a custom pag and without prettylink this would be hard
Ok
This is some stuff to use
thnx
great program, works great.
i’m having a problem tracking conversions for my ppc offers. this is a link i use, what type of forward should be used with it:
http://www.affiliatecompany.com/af.php?o=sdfsdfb=r5p5c3rd&p=38299&l=1&s=
thanks!
this is the link, looks like your page stripped out the php

I’d use parameter forwarding to pass the custom data to your target url. You could set this up using standard or custom parameter forwarding.
thanks for great plugin,but I want to ask 1 thing.how do we can delete unused pretty link,plz send it to my email.thx b4
If you hover over the link name then you’ll see a delete link appear. Just click on that and you can delete the pretty link.
I’m just curious about the link shrinking. I heard you say you can use pretty link instead of bit.ly but I haven’t been able to figure out how to shrink the links inside of WP.
Have you installed Pretty Link? Have you logged into your admin and clicked “Pretty Link” -> “Add a New Pretty Link” ? That’s all you need to do
… Let me know if you have any other issues.
Fantastic work, Blair! I just love this wonderful WordPress Plug-in! And your video tutorial is very helpful! You made my day!
really fabulous plugin!, excellent video tutorials too, if only the other plugin makers would be as professional as you the wordl would be a better place..

I watched all four videos and I didn’t understand a word. Um, do I make the link and then replace the link in the post with the pretty link? I do all my redirects so far using php files. Is there a way to cloak affiliate links using pretty links that’s easier? I vaguely get the sense that’s what’s going on here but you didn’t give even one example of an affiliate link.
I have problems with Custom Parameter Forwarding. I’d like to setup link:
http://elancetraffic.com/be/%f%
to be forwarded to:
http://elancetraffic.com/bttb/?f=...
When I watched your video, after you used Custom Parameters Forwarding, the query string was attached at the end of the slug, but it is not like that on my Pretty Link version 1.4.49.
When I try e.g. http://elancetraffic.com/be/Jan
my wordpress returns 404, however when I use http://elancetraffic.com/be
without parameters, it works.
Where is the problem?
I can record you a video to explain thin in more details.
Thanks.
Jan I think there is a bug in the Custom Parameter forwarding optoins. I will let Blair know and hopefully he’ll get a ticket in place to look into this issue soon.
